“Ah, Q, I see you’ve put Bond back together…”

James Bond, Author of the Quixote

In the opening scene of the next Bond film, he should be performatively reading a James Bond novel

barista: can i take your name james bond: the name's bond barista: ok james bond: james bond barista: well i've written bond now james bond: it's ok don't barista: i can get a new cup james bond: no it's fine barista: it's not a problem james bond: just go with bond

La jubilación de Bond, James Bond 🔫.

people are worried about the continuity in bond movies when every bond movie opens with you, the viewer, getting shot by james bond

How to reboot Bond— Announce 5 finalists for casting. Don't announce a winner, don't show his face in trailers. COLD OPEN: Casino. Pan around poker table, looking down at cards as we hear finalists' voices bet, call, etc. Reveal their faces… Attack! 4 die in action sequence. #5 winks at us… CREDITS!

I mean, this solves the problem. Set them in the past and it doesn’t matter if he died a few years ago.

Valuable thread about journalism and how most of us non-journalists reflexively think wrong about it.

Just a reminder that the Boomers were the Gen alpha of their day, and the Lost Generation were the millennials.

Waiting for it to turn out the 15-year old in a 27-year old in a fedora and an old timey detective suit-suit is actually a 7-year old and an 8-year old in a 15-year old in a 27-year old in a fedora and an old-timey detective suit-suit-suit.

Chuck Schumer remains a complete sentence.

The more we learn about Zohran Mamdani's upbringing, the clearer it becomes that he owes everything to his connected, well-to-do parents. by A.G. Sulzberger, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump, Jr.

What happened to Tim?

We got Bill Kristol and they got Russell Brand.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Honestly, NYC Has functionally not had a mayor in eight months and apparently an unqualified fire commissioner for a year and nobody's really noticed? Greatest city in the world baby.

fully 50% of the most recent People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive (TM) were humanities majors (and the others didn't go to college). Which points to an ongoing crisis in higher education: why are STEM programs taking our tax dollars yet failing to give our young men critical Sexiness skills?!

Some people simply cannot math. Sliwa’s votes + Cuomo’s votes < Mandani’s votes.

Men will literally record a landmark change-of-pace 1982 acoustic album on 4-track in their rental bedroom rather than go to therapy.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Slick move from Donald Trump freezing money for the biggest infrastructure project in New Jersey a month before the election

There are going to be a whole lot of electoral results that Mike Johnson hasn’t heard about tomorrow.

Is Ackman moving to Florida?

“Too young” Madani is the same age Dick Cheney was when he became White House Chief of Staff

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not. They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly). news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4580...

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

Well, one could just boycott Meta itself….

I will venmo any reporter $400 to ask trump "what does SNAP stand for"

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen. Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy! Sorta seems like a problem.

"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

God knows how many times this has happened: Zero. Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist. Congrats to everyone who patronizes the Nazi bar he runs.

I love Steak Fries. Yes of course I will have 1/6 of a fried potato 46 times.

“But Doctor,” the man says. “I am Ozymandias, King of Kings.”

money should be banished it’s meaningless. All trades should be done as barter. I have a chicken you have a hammer. What if I’m at the market and I want your chicken and I didn’t bring my hammer I should be able to give you a special unique token that represents the hammer that I’ll deliver later
